The 5520 platform consists of the 5500/5600 Series (LGA 1366) processor, the IOH-36D (IOH Hub), and the ICH10R (South Bridge). With the Intel QuickPath interconnect (QPI) controller built in, the 5500/5600 Series Processor is the first dual-processing platform that offers the next generation point-to-point system interconnect interface, greatly enhancing system performance by utilizing serial link interconnections which allows for increased bandwidth and scalability. The IOH connects to each processor through an independent QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) link. Each link consists of 20 pairs of unidirectional differential lanes for data transmission in addition to a differential forwarded clock. A full-width QPI link pair provides 84 signals. Each processor supports two QuickPath links, one going to the other processor and the other to the 5520 IO Hub. The 5520 chipset supports up to 36 PCI Express Gen2 lanes, peer-to-peer read and write transactions. The ICH10R provides up to six PCI-Express ports, six SATA ports and six USB connections. In addition, the 5520 chipset also offers a wide range of RAS (Reliability, Availability and Serviceability) features. These features include memory interface ECC, x4/x8 Single Device Data Correction (SDDC), Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC), parity protection, out-of-band register access via SMBus, memory mirroring, and Hot-plug support on the PCI-Express Interface. Main Features of the 5500/5600 Series Processor and the 5520 Chipset • Four processor cores in each processor with 8MB shared cache among cores • Two full-width Intel QuickPath interconnect (QPI) links, up to 6.4 GT/s of data transfer rate in each direction • Virtualization Technology, Integrated Management Engine supported • Point-to-point cache coherent interconnect, fast/narrow unidirectional links, and concurrent bi-directional traffic • Error detection via CRC and error correction via Link-level retry 2-11 X8DTU-6F+/X8DTU-6TF+/X8DTU-6(T)F+-LR User’s Manual 2-3 Special Features Recovery from AC Power Loss The Basic I/O System (BIOS) provides a setting for you to determine how the system will respond when AC power is lost and then restored to the system. You can choose for the system to remain powered off (in which case you must press the power switch to turn it back on), or for it to automatically return to a power-on state. See the Advanced BIOS Setup section to change this setting. The default setting is Last State. 2-4 PC Health Monitoring This section describes the PC health monitoring features of the motherboard. All have an onboard System Hardware Monitor chip that supports PC health monitoring. An onboard voltage monitor will scan these onboard voltages continuously: CPU1 Vcore, CPU2 Vcore, 1.5V, 5V, 5VSB, 12V, 3.3Vcc, 3.3VSB, VBAT and Vtt. Once a voltage becomes unstable, a warning is given or an error message is sent to the screen. The user can adjust the voltage thresholds to define the sensitivity of the voltage monitor. Fan Status Monitor with Firmware Control The PC health monitor can check the RPM status of the cooling fans. The onboard CPU and chassis fans are controlled by Thermal Management via BIOS (under the Hardware Monitoring section in the Advanced Setting). Environmental Temperature Control The thermal control sensor monitors the CPU temperature in real time and will turn on the thermal control fan whenever the CPU temperature exceeds a user-defined threshold. The overheat circuitry runs independently from the CPU. Once it detects that the CPU temperature is too high, it will automatically turn on the thermal fan control to prevent the CPU from overheating. The onboard chassis thermal circuitry can monitor the overall system temperature and alert the user when the chassis temperature is too high. Note: To avoid possible system overheating, please be sure to provide adequate airflow to your system. System Resource Alert This feature is available when used with Supero Doctor III in the Windows OS 2-12 Chapter 2: Overview environment or used with Supero Doctor II in Linux. Supero Doctor is used to notify the user of certain system events. For example, you can also configure Supero Doctor to provide you with warnings when the system temperature, CPU temperatures, voltages and fan speeds go beyond a predefined range. 2-5 ACPI Features ACPI stands for Advanced Configuration and Power Interface. The ACPI specification defines a flexible and abstract hardware interface that provides a standard way to integrate power management features throughout a PC system, including its hardware, operating system and application software. This enables the system to automatically turn on and off peripherals such as CD-ROMs, network cards, hard disk drives and printers. In addition to enabling operating system-directed power management, ACPI also provides a generic system event mechanism for Plug and Play and an operating system-independent interface for configuration control. ACPI leverages the Plug and Play BIOS data structures, while providing a processor architecture-independent implementation that is compatible with the Windows 2003, Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 2008 Operating Systems. Slow Blinking LED for Suspend-State Indicator When the CPU goes into a suspend state, the chassis power LED will start blinking to indicate that the CPU is in suspend mode. When the user presses any key, the CPU will "wake up" and the LED will automatically stop blinking and remain on. 2-6 Power Supply As with all computer products, a stable power source is necessary for proper and reliable operation. It is even more important for processors that have high CPU clock rates. The X8DTU-6F+/X8DTU-6TF+/X8DTU-6(T)F+-LR motherboard accommodates 24pin ATX power supplies. Although most power supplies generally meet the specifications required by the CPU, some are inadequate. In addition, two 12V 8-pin power connections are also required to ensure adequate power supply to the system. Also your power supply must supply 1.5A for the Ethernet ports. Warning! 1. To avoid damaging the power supply or motherboard, please use a power supply that contains a 24-pin and two 8-pin power connectors. Be sure to connect these connectors to the 24-pin (JPW1) and the two 8-pin (JPW2, JPW3) power connectors on the motherboard. Failure to do so will void the manufacturer warranty on your power supply and motherboard. 2-13 X8DTU-6F+/X8DTU-6TF+/X8DTU-6(T)F+-LR User’s Manual 2. To provide adequate power to the add-on cards installed on the motherboard, please connect the UIOP PWR connector to the power supply. It is strongly recommended that you use a high quality power supply that meets ATX power supply Specification 2.02 or above. It must also be SSI compliant. (For more information, please refer to the web site at http://www.ssiforum.org/). Additionally, in areas where noisy power transmission is present, you may choose to install a line filter to shield the computer from noise. It is recommended that you also install a power surge protector to help avoid problems caused by power surges. 2-7 Overview of the Nuvoton WPCM450 Controller The Nuvoton WPCM450 Controller is a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) that supports the 2D/VGA-compatible Graphics Core with PCI interface, Virtual Media, and Keyboard/Video/Mouse Redirection (KVMR) modules. The WPCM450 interfaces with the host system via a PCI interface to communicate with the Graphics core. It supports USB 2.0 and 1.1 for remote keyboard/mouse/ virtual media emulation. It also provides LPC interface to control Super IO functions. The WPCM450 is connected to the network via an external Ethernet PHY module.

Make sure that no short circuits between the motherboard and the chassis. 2. Make sure that the ATX power connectors are properly connected 3. Check that the 115V/230V switch on the power supply is properly set, if available. 4. Turn the power switch on and off to test the system, if applicable. 5. The battery on your motherboard may be old. Check to verify that it still supplies ~3VDC. If it does not, replace it with a new one. 4-1 X8DTU-6F+/X8DTU-6TF+/X8DTU-6(T)F+-LR User's Manual No Video 1. If the power is on but you have no video, remove all the add-on cards and cables. 2. Use the speaker to determine if any beep codes exist. Refer to the Appendix for details on beep codes. System Boot Failure If the system does not display POST or does not respond after the power is turned on, check the following: 1. Check for any error beep from the motherboard speaker. • If there is no error beep, try to turn on the system without DIMM modules. If there is still no error beep, try to turn on the system again with only one processor in CPU Socket#1. If there is still no error beep, replace the motherboard. • If there are error beeps, clear the CMOS settings by unplugging the power cord and contracting both pads on the CMOS Clear Jumper (JBT1). (Refer to Section 3-7 in Chapter 3.) 2. Remove all components from the motherboard, especially the DIMM modules. Make sure that the system's power is on and memory error beeps are activated. 3. Turn on the system with only one DIMM module. If the system boots, check for bad DIMM modules or slots by following the Memory Errors Troubleshooting procedure in this Chapter. Losing the System’s Setup Configuration 1. Make sure that you are using a high quality power supply. A poor quality power supply may cause the system to lose the CMOS setup information. Refer to Section 2-6 for details on recommended power supplies. 2. The battery on your motherboard may be old. Check to verify that it still supplies ~3VDC. If it does not, replace it with a new one. 3. If the above steps do not fix the Setup Configuration problem, contact your vendor for repairs. 4-2 Chapter 4: Troubleshooting Memory Errors When a No_Memory_Beep_Code is issued by the system, check the following: 1. Make sure that the memory modules are compatible and that the DIMM modules are properly and fully installed. (For memory compatibility, refer to the Memory Compatibility Chart posted on our website @ http://www.supermicro. com.) 2. Check if different speeds of DIMMs have been installed. It is strongly recommended to use the same RAM speed for all DIMMs in the system. 3. Make sure you are using the correct type of DDR3 Registered/Load Reduced/ Unbuffered ECC or Non-ECC SDRAM modules as recommended by the manufacturer. Refer to Page 2-6 for memory support. 4. Check for bad DIMM modules or slots by swapping a single module among all memory slots and check the results. 5. Make sure that all memory modules are fully seated in their slots. Follow the instructions given in Section 3-3 in Chapter 3. 6. Please follow the instructions given in the DIMM Population Tables listed in Section 3-3 to install your memory modules. When the System Becomes Unstable A. When the system becomes unstable during or after OS installation, check the following: 1. OS Compatibility: Check if the OS is compatible with your system 1. CPU/BIOS support: Check if your CPU is supported and if you have the latest BIOS installed. 2. Memory support: Make sure that the memory modules are supported by testing the modules using memtest86 or a similar utility. Note: Refer to the product page on our website http:\\www.supermicro. com for memory compatibility list. 3. HDD support: Check if all hard disk drives (HDDs) work properly. Replace the bad HDDs with good ones. 4. System cooling: Check system cooling to make sure that all heatsink fans, and CPU/system fans, etc., work properly. Check Hardware Monitoring set- 4-3 X8DTU-6F+/X8DTU-6TF+/X8DTU-6(T)F+-LR User's Manual tings in the BIOS to make sure that the CPU and System temperatures are within normal range. Also check the front panel Overheat LED and make sure that the Overheat LED is not on. 5. Adequate power supply: Make sure that the power supply provides adequate power to the system. Make sure that all power connectors are connected. Please refer to our website for more information on minimum power requirement. 6. Proper software support: Make sure that the correct drivers are used. B. When the system becomes unstable before or during OS installation, check the following. 1. Source of installation: Make sure that the devices used for installation are working properly, including boot devices such as CD/DVD disc, CD/DVDROM. 2. Cable connection: Check to make sure that all cables are connected and working properly. 3. Using minimum configuration for troubleshooting: Remove all unnecessary components, add-on cards first, and use minimum configuration (with a CPU and a memory module installed) to identify the trouble areas. Refer to the steps listed in Section A above for proper troubleshooting procedures. 4. Identifying bad components by isolating them: If necessary, remove a component in question from the chassis, and test it in isolation to make sure that it works properly. Replace a bad component with a good one. 5. Check and change one component at a time instead of changing several items at the same time. This will help isolate and identify problems. 6. To find out if a component is good, swap this component with a new one to see if the system will work properly. If so, then the old component is bad. You can also install the component in question in another system. If the new system works, the component is good and the old system has problems. 4-2 Technical Support Procedures Before contacting Technical Support, please take the following steps.

When the CPU temperature reaches this predefined threshold, the CPU and system cooling fans will run at full speed. 2. To avoid possible system overheating, please be sure to provide adequate airflow to your system. The options are: • The Early Alarm: Select this setting if you want the CPU overheat alarm (including the LED and the buzzer) to be triggered as soon as the CPU temperature reaches the CPU overheat threshold as predefined by the CPU manufacturer. • The Default Alarm: Select this setting if you want the CPU overheat alarm (including the LED and the buzzer) to be triggered when the CPU temperature reaches about 5oC above the threshold temperature as predefined by the CPU manufacturer to give the CPU and system fans additional time needed for CPU and system cooling. In both the alarms above, please take immediate action as shown below. CPU 1 Temperature/CPU 2 Temperature/System Temperature This feature displays current temperature readings for the CPU and the System. The following items will be displayed for your reference only: CPU1 Temperature/CPU2 Temperature The CPU thermal technology that reports absolute temperatures (Celsius/Fahrenheit) has been upgraded to a more advanced feature by Intel in its newer processors. The basic concept is each CPU is embedded by unique temperature information that the motherboard can read. This ‘Temperature Threshold’ or ‘Temperature Tolerance’ has been assigned at the factory and is the baseline on which the motherboard takes action during different CPU temperature conditions (i.e., by increasing CPU Fan speed, triggering the Overheat Alarm, etc). Since CPUs can have different ‘Temperature Tolerances’, the installed CPU can now send information to the motherboard what its ‘Temperature Tolerance’ is, and not the other way around. This results in better CPU thermal management. Supermicro has leveraged this feature by assigning a temperature status to certain thermal conditions in the processor (Low, Medium and High). This makes it easier for the user to understand the CPU’s temperature status, rather than by just simply 5-18 Chapter 5: AMI BIOS seeing a temperature reading (i.e., 25oC). The CPU Temperature feature will display the CPU temperature status as detected by the BIOS: Low – This level is considered as the ‘normal’ operating state. The CPU temperature is well below the CPU ‘Temperature Tolerance’. The motherboard fans and CPU will run normally as configured in the BIOS (Fan Speed Control). User intervention: No action required. Medium – The processor is running warmer. This is a ‘precautionary’ level and generally means that there may be factors contributing to this condition, but the CPU is still within its normal operating state and below the CPU ‘Temperature Tolerance’. The motherboard fans and CPU will run normally as configured in the BIOS. The fans may adjust to a faster speed depending on the Fan Speed Control settings. User intervention: No action is required. However, consider checking the CPU fans and the chassis ventilation for blockage. High – The processor is running hot. This is a ‘caution’ level since the CPU’s ‘Temperature Tolerance’ has been reached (or has been exceeded) and may activate an overheat alarm. User intervention: If the system buzzer and Overheat LED has activated, take action immediately by checking the system fans, chassis ventilation and room temperature to correct any problems. Notes: 1. The system may shut down if it continues for a long period to prevent damage to the CPU. 2. The information provided above is for your reference only. For more information on thermal management, please refer to Intel’s Web site at www.Intel.com.

Fan 1 ~ Fan 8 Reading This feature displays the fan speed readings from fan interfaces Fan 1 through Fan 8. Fan Speed Control Modes This feature allows the user to decide how the system controls the speeds of the onboard fans. The CPU temperature and the fan speed are correlative. When the CPU on-die temperature increases, the fan speed will also increase for effective system cooling. Select "Full Speed/FS" to allow the onboard fans to run at full speed for maximum cooling. The FS setting is recommended for special system configuration or debugging. Select "Performance/PF" for better system cooling. The PF setting is recommended for high-power-consuming and high-density systems. 5-19 X8DTU-6F+/X8DTU-6TF+/X8DTU-6(T)F+-LR Motherboard User’s Manual Select "Balanced/BL" for the onboard fans to run at a speed that will balance the needs between system cooling and power saving.
